Europe's Inner Demons - The Demonization of Christians in Medieval Christendom (Paperback, Reissue)

'One of the most remarkable works of academic investigation I have ever had in my hands;it is not too much to say that Professor Cohn has revolutionized the study of the subject... it is a brilliant book.' Bernard Levin, THE OBSERVER In this pioneering book Norman Cohn traces popular beliefs about witches to their origins, and shows how the great witch-hunt erupted, when thousands of innocent people were tortured and burned alive. 'It is no exaggeration to describe EUROPE'S INNER DREAMS as the most important book yet written on European witchcraft.' Max Marwick, SOCIOLOGY This is a book of real stature which I hope will have wide impact. Only if we begin to understand the horrifying recesses of the human imagination can we prevent the recurrence of those dreadful, irrational persecutions which have so disfigured human history.' Anthony Storr
